The Oregon Preservation of the Rogue River Bill, also known as Measure 6, was on the November 6, 1928 ballot in Oregon as an initiated state statute, where it was defeated. The measure would have declared the natural preservation of the Rogue River watershed from private commercial interests, except under certain conditions and with specific approvals.[1]
